I have a little SeaLife Sea Dragon Mini 600 LED UW Light, SL982. It has two power levels. When I'm on land it works fine. When I get to depth it will work fine for a couple of minutes and then it turns itself off. My husband thought it was operator error so I shoved it into his hands to let him...

I've had my Cobra3 for 7 years and I've had the guts of it replaced under warranty once - maybe twice (my husband's also had to be fixed). It has crapped out and then started working again without servicing several times. It's just been unreliable. Because I've never felt like I could trust it...

Just an FYI and warning - and hopefully someone will learn from my mistake. I booked our vacation through Orbitz and entered my husband's last name as his first name (never entered his last name in any way on his reservation - so it read Rogerdean Roger). Duh. Figured it out the day before...

Hello everyone! I think I have a good idea what to look for in a reef friendly sunscreen (it seems that if I look pasty white I should be ok!), but I'm in a bind in terms of hair products. I like to thoroughly soak my hair in fresh water and then apply a liberal amount of conditioner before I go...

We're looking into a trip to the Big Island and would be staying near Kona & Kohala. I've been looking at videos and pictures on the web - and doing some reading - and it appears that in 2015 there was a significant bleaching event and the reef is in rough shape in these areas. What I read says...

I use a heads up display mask and have corrected vision for both near and far. This is challenging because the readout is on one side, making the actual lens about 1/4 shorter from top to bottom. For me, this means that I only have correction for close-up in one eye, but correction for distance...

This was posted on Facebook: "We found a treasure at the bottom of the ocean yesterday in Saint Lucia. The wedding band is engraved MT 12-16-2012 and was found in the water at Sandals Regenecy La Toc. It is yellow and white gold. The jeweler's stamp is "sja" and links to a jeweler in New...

I love my Zena, but I have a large rib cage and if I tighten it enough to really stay in place it cuts into my ribs (the top strap rides right under my rib cage). I mentioned it to a crew member on the Juliet (Liza) and she gave me a crotch strap to try - and it was wonderful! I can tighten it...

I just got back from a live aboard trip where I reached 204 dives and went from 10 to 6 pounds of weight! It seems I 'turned a corner' on my buoyancy, and I'm really excited. I think I could have gone to 4 pounds but I didn't want to push it. Yay! My husband, who outweighs me by 90 pounds is...

We have a trip scheduled to Key Largo in two weeks. We have been there several times and LOVE diving the Keys. I mentioned our upcoming trip to a fellow diver and she said something about the reef being bleached out. It's been a few years since we were down there and I'm wondering if anything...

Hi Everyone! I have had several skin cancers removed (3 Mohs procedures) so I have to be super careful when in the sun. I use a ton of reef-friendly sunscreen and look like Casper the Friendly Ghost's friend Wendy - but I'm looking for something to wear when I'm on a boat and don't want to...

There is always something (or somethings) that I forget on a dive trip. It's different each time. Sometimes I'll skip bringing crème rinse because 'all hotels have crème rinse, right?" (scuba club Cozumel had a shampoo/crème rinse combo that was worthless - but I had brought my own, thank...

We just got back from a week at Scuba Club Cozumel (had a great time). On our very first dive my husband couldn't descend. I was far enough away that I couldn't quite understand why he wasn't descending - and the guy on the dive boat was holding up weights in case he was just underweighted. My...

My computer is slow and will probably need to be replaced soon. I probably won't spring for a Mac, but I'm wondering if the people who are 'serious' about UW use Mac or PC, and either way, which editing software you prefer? Thanks.

I am PADI trained and I have the "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING" so ingrained in my head that I'm literally rolling my eyes at myself if I suspect that a fin tip may have touched something by accident - I feel SO stupid! I have 135 dives and my dive instructor has said that I have good buoyancy - but...

I recently went on a girls dive trip to Cozumel and I saw lots of jewelry during dives. One woman wore several rings - another wore dangly earrings - I was wearing a necklace that is completely hidden under my wetsuit, and also my wedding band. I was thinking about wearing a pair of silver...

Just for fun, who is the most famous person you have been diving with? We found ourselves on a boat with Judge Alex once in Key Largo. Ok, so he's not a movie star or rock persona, but he's on tv and he was a nice guy (he and his son seemed to be good divers). That's my best story. I keep hoping...

I just bought a pair of Seawing Novas in a size small and they measure 22", end to end so will fit in my carry-on with no problem. My husband is thinking about getting a pair but we can't find the length of a large or xl anywhere. Can you please share that information here? Thanks!

I'm so glad to see that someone has finally decided to make a front zip Henderson. Of course I have all the wetsuits I really "need", but I'm wondering if anyone has gotten one and if you have, what do you think of it? Thanks!

Just got back from a dive trip and wanted to report on my oddball incident with my Zena (which I LOVE). I was doing a night dive, upside down to take a picture when I felt my buddy (husband) grab my BC. I thought "aw, how nice of him to help with a little stabilization!" followed by "WTF - let...
